Multiple MIDs

aov123 — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:23:09 GMT

Hello:

I'm trying to help a client setup their account using AIM API.

They have one merchant account and will have multiple MIDs associated with that account.

How do we pass the MID so that each transaction is associated with the correct MID?

Thanks!

So more than one Authorize.net account? That's fairly simple - you just set the login ID and key individually depending on the situation. For instance, from the AIM.markdown file in the doc folder of the PHP SDK:

$sale = new AuthorizeNetAIM('YOUR_API_LOGIN_ID', 'YOUR_TRANSACTION_KEY');

Only in your case, you'd set it using variables rather than hard-coding it.

No, one authorize.net account.

One Merchant Account.

Multiple MIDs associated with that account.

Is there a specify which mid?

Or do we have to have multiple auth.net accounts to handle multiple MIDs?

Might help if you define what MID means, then.

Each Authorize.Net account can only be associated with one merchant ID. So if a merchant has multiple merchant IDs they will need multiple Auithorize.Net accounts.
